Frequently Asked Questions
How do I purchase an original work?
1
Available original works can be purchased directly through me. Some works are also available in limited quantities at the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre gift shop. Please get in touch for current availability, pricing, and shipping information.
Can I use your artwork for a tattoo or other personal project?
2
Please contact me with the artwork you are interested in and how you would like to use it. Because some works are created for specific people, places, or occasions, not all artwork is available for reproduction or adaptation.
Are you currently accepting artwork commissions?
3
Commission availability varies throughout the year. Please get in touch with details about your project, and I’ll let you know if it’s something I’m able to take on.
Are you available for gallery exhibitions or collaborations?
4
I’m open to exhibition and collaboration opportunities that align with my practice. Please send details about your project, organization, or exhibition.
Can you take me to pictograph sites or other culturally significant places?
5
As a member of the Osoyoos Indian Band and the syilx Okanagan Nation, I am committed to protecting culturally significant places within our territory. While I am happy to share aspects of syilx Okanagan culture through my art practice and opportunities for learning and connection, I do not provide visits to protected cultural sites. This includes Spotted Lake, pictograph sites, or other culturally significant locations. These places hold deep cultural significance and require respectful stewardship.
Can you recommend resources for learning more about Syilx art and culture?
6
Absolutely. The Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre, Sncəwips Heritage Museum, and En’owkin Centre are wonderful places to begin. There are also many books, writings, and publications by Syilx and Okanagan authors and artists that offer valuable perspectives and teachings.
Can I visit your studio?
7
I’m currently building a dedicated studio, so for the time being, my “studio” is mostly my kitchen table. Once the new space is up and running, I’ll be happy to welcome studio visits by appointment.
